The Tree Heath or Bruyére (Erica Arborea) comes to perfection in the more southerly of the Mediterranean Lands, where the climate is that to which it is specially adapted. Here there is a summer drought, lasting several months, which the plant world must be prepared to withstand. Different plants have, of course their different devices for passing the recurrent bad seasons, but in general it may be said that there is a reduction in size of the parts of the plant above the ground, and a development of unusually large roots below ground; hence shrubs grow better than trees, and Small-1eafed shrubs especially flourish well.

We have pleasure in placing before the ever-increasing number of our Patrons in all parts of the world a more complete Catalogue of Peterson's Patent Pipes than we have hitherto issued. The importance of producing as perfect a pipe as possible is evident, when we realise how universally smoking has affected modern thought in Art, Science, Literature, Politics, and even the Pulpit; how it has influenced the best wit of our time, and brought relief and solace to over-taxed energies.
